RECOMMENDATIONS. 

SINCE  the  scientific  labours  of  Mr.  Walker  have  rescued  English  orthoepy  from 
the  arbitrary  dictates  of  pedantry,  and  the  fluctuations  of  caprice,  a  correct  pronun- 
ciation seems  almost  to  have  become  a  criterion  of  good  breeding  and  a  liberal  educa- 
tion. There  will  always  be,  it  is  probable,  some  words  of  a  pronunciation  so  ambigu- 
ous, that  even  among  polite  speakers,  a  difference  will  prevail,  a»i  !  r^ch  must  be  left 
to  the  guidance  of  his  own  ear  :  but,  it  is  much  to  be  doubted,  whether  any  lexico- 
grapher will  ever  approach  nearer  than  Mr.  Walker,  to  the  establishing  of  a  correct 
standard.  He  has  exhibited  such  a  philosophical  knowledge  of  language,  such  exten- 
sive observation,  such  profound  investigation  of  analogy,  with  such  clearness  of 
method  and  perspicuity  of  style,  as  to  render  any  material  improvement,  at  present, 
rather  to  be  wished  than  expected.  Although  we  do  not  consider  Mr.  Walker's  Dic- 
tionary infallible,  yet  it  appears  to  us  eminently  the  best  guide  to  a  correct  and  elegant 
pronunciation  of  our  language. — Critical  Revieio. 

Walker's  Dictionary  is  selected  as  the  most  suitable  for  the  use  of  schools.,  because 
it  is  in  much  more  general  use  than  any  other  ;  and,  by  general  consent,  in  all  coun- 
tries where  the  English  language  is  spoken,  is  allowed,  and  taken  to  be  the  most  correct 
standard  of  pronunciation.  It  is  important,  for  the  uniformity  and  perpetuity  of  our 
language,  that  such  a  standard  should  be  generally  adopted  :  and  it  is  hoped  the 
time  is  not  far  distant,  when  this  book  will  be  the  only  legitimate  authority  for  the  or- 
thography and  pronunciation  of  the  English  language.

PREFACE.    . 

FEW  subjects  have  of  late  years  more  employed  the  pens  of  every  class  of  critick?, 
than  the  improvement  of  the  English  Language.  The  greatest  abilities  in  the  nation 
have  been  exerted  in  cultivating  and  reforming  it  ;  nor  have  a  thousand  minor  crit- 
icks  been  wanting  to  add  their  mite  of  amendment  to  their  native  tongue.  Johnson, 
whose  large  mind  and  just  taste  made  him  capable  of  enriching  and  adorning  the 
Language  with  original  composition,  has  condescended  to  the  drudgery  of  disentang- 
ling, explaining,  and  arranging  it,  and  left  a  lasting  monument  of  his  ability,  labour, 
and  patience  ;  and  Dr.  Lowth,  the  politest  scholar  of  the  age,  has  veiled  his  superiori- 
ty in  his  short  Introduction  to  English  Grammar.  The  ponderous  folio  has  vindica- 
ted the  rights  of  analogy  ;  and  the  light  ephemeral  sheet  of  news  has  corrected  errours 
in  Grammar,  as  well  as  in  politicks,  by  slyly  marking  them  in  Italicks. 

Nor  has  the  improvement  stopped  here.  While  Johnson  and  Lowth  have  been  in- 
sensibly operating  on  the  orthography  and  construction  of  our  Language,  its  pronun- 
ciation has  not  been  neglected.  The  importance  of  a  consistent  and  regular  pronun- 
ciation was  too  obvious  to  be  overlooked  ;  and  the  want  of  this  consistency  and  regu- 
larity has  induced  several  ingenious  men  to  endeavour  at  a  reformation  ;  who,  by  ex- 
hibiting the  regularities  of  pronunciation,  and  pointing  out  its  analogies,  have  reclaim- 
ed some  words  that  were  not  irrecoverably  fixed  in  a  wrong  sound,  and  prevented  oth- 
ers from  being  perverted  by  ignorance  or  caprice. 

Among  those  writers  who  deserve  the  first  praise  on  this  subject,  is  Mr.  Elphinston  ; 
who,  in  his  principles  of  the  English  Language,  has  reduced  the  chaos  to  a  system  ; 
and,  by  a  deep  investigation  of  the  analogies  of  our  tongue,  has  laid  the  foundation 
of  a  just  and  regular  pronunciation. 

After  him,  Dr.  Kenrick  contributed  a  portion  of  improvement  by  his  Rhetorical 
Dictionary  ;  in  which  the  words  are  divided  into  syllables  as  they  are  pronounced,  and 
figures  placed  over  the  vowels,  to  indicate  the  different  sounds.  But  this  gentleman 
has  rendered  his  Dictionary  extremely  imperfect,  by  entirely  omitting  a  great  num- 
ber of  words  of  doubtful  and  difficult  pronunciation — those  very  words  for  which  a 
Dictionary  of  this  kind  would  be  most  consulted. 

To  him  succeeded  Mr.  Sheridan,  who  not  only  divided  the  words  into  syllables,  nnd 
placed  figures  over  the  vowels,  as  Dr.  Kenrick  had  done,  but,  bv  spelling'these  sylla- 
bles as  they  are  pronounced,  seemed  to  complete  the  idea  of  a  Pronouncing-  Diction- 
ary, and  to  leave  but  little  expectation  of  future  improvement.  It  must,  indeed,  be 
confessed,  that  Mr.  Sheridan's  Dictionary  is  greatly  superiour  to  every  other  that  pre- 
ceded it ;  and  his  method  of  conveying  the  sound'of  words,  by  spelling  them  as  they 
are  pronounced,  is  highly  rational  and  useful. — But  here  sincerity  obliges  me  to  stop. 
Numerous  instances  of  impropriety,  inconsistency,  and  want  of  acquaintance  with  the 
analogies  of  the  Language,  sufficiently  show  that  his  Dictionary  is  upon  the  whole 
imperfect,  and  that  ample  room  was  left  for  attempting  another,  which  might  better 
answer  the  purpose  of  a  Guide  to  Pronunciation. 

The  last  writer  on  this  subject  is  Mr.  Nares,  who,  in  his  Elements  of  Orthoepy,  has 
shown  a  clearness  of  method  and  an  extent  of  observation  which  deserve  the  highest 
encomiums.  His  Preface  alone  proves  him  an  elegant  writer,  as  well  as  a  philosophi-  I 
cal  observer  of  Language  ;  and  his  Alphabetical  Index,  referring  near  five  thousand 
words  to  the  rules  for  pronouncing  them,  is  a  new  and  useful  method  of  treating  the 
subject  ;  but  he  seems  on  many  occasions,  to  have  mistaken  the  best  usage,  and  to 
have  paid  too  little  attention  to' the  first  principles  of  pronunciation. 

Thus  I  have  ventured  to  ^ive  my  opinion  of  my  rivals  and  competitors,   and  I  hope  J 
without  envy  or  self-conceit.     Perhaps  it  would  have  been  policy  in  me  to  have  been  I 
s3e-»*  on  this  head,  for  fear  of  putting  the  public  in  mind  that,  others  have  written  on 
the  suoject  as  well  as  myself:  but  this  is  a  narrow  policy,  which,  undir  the  celcur  of 


t  4  ] 
tenderness  to  others,  is  calculated  to  raise  ourselves  at  their  expense.  A  writer  who 
is  conscious  he  deserves  the  attention  of  the  public,  (and  unless  he  is  thus  conscious  he 
ought  not  to  write)  must  not  only  wish  to  be  compared  with  those  who  have  gone  be- 
fore  him,  but  will  promote  the  comparison,  by  informing  his  readers  what  others  have 
done,  and  on  what  he  founds  his  pretensions  to  a  preference  ;  and  if  this  be  done  with 
fairness  and  without  acrimony,  it  can  be  no  more  inconsistent  with  modesty,  than  it  is 
with  honesty  and  plain  dealing. 

The  work  I  have  offered  on  the  subject  has,  I  hope,  added  something  to  the  public 
stock ;  as  I  have  endeavoured  to  unite  the  science  of  Mr.  Elphinston,  the  method  of 
Mr.  Nares,and  the  general  utility  of  Mr.  Sheridan. 

With  respect  to  the  explanation  of  words,  except  in  very  few  instances,  I  have  scru- 
pulously followed  Dr.  Johnson.  His  Dictionary  has  been  deemed  lawful  plunder  by 
every  subsequent  lexicographer  ;  and  so  servilely  has  it  been  copied,  that  such  words 
as  he  must  have  omitted  merely  by  mistake,  as  Predilection,  Respectable,  Descriptive, 
Sulky,  Inimical,  Interference,  and  many  others,  are  neither  in  Mr.  Sheridan's, Dr.  Ken- 
rick's,  nor  several  other  Dictionaries.
